support interactive HTML widgets like Gadfly and ipywidgets

...or anything else that uses scripts (e.g. itorch.Plot)

Likely precursor upstream: jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets#13

[RobSalzwedel]

Yes please!!!!

The CSP policy in Atom v1.6.0 doesn't allow the injection of scripts.
Will interactive HTML widgets in Atom ever be possible?

@rgbkrk How about nteract? Are there any plans?

[rgbkrk]

We certainly plan to have it in nteract, though @jdfreder and I have only sketched out ways we can handle it.

Seems like it might be worth seeing if Atom can let you create an iframe or a WebView.

Do you guys think that this package may help ? https://github.com/atom/loophole
I'm not sure how to apply this to our React components though.

[wadethestealth]

@aviatesk all we need is the services api. I have a pr using the plugin api already. However we could be more like autocomplete and consume it

[aviatesk]

Do you mean if there is a package that provides an interface to ipywidgets ?
If so, I think the package would use @nteract/widgets and it would still cause CST error.

[wadethestealth]

@aviatesk the package would be similar to both plotly and mathjax which both had cst errors

Any suggestions in this line of thinking? I might test this out
